Hmmm....I had previously thought that the numerical listing "400" of the model referred to the lumen output as with previous DiNotte models...BUT...you are right. I found the listed lumen output on the DiNotte site but it's not like they list it in the opening product description. You have to scroll down the page to where they list all the spec's. I didn't see that before. I stand corrected. Matter of fact none of the DiNotte rear lamps are listing the outputs I thought they had. Hate when that crap happens. :notamused: Damn, all this time I thought the numbers on the different rear lamp models were a reference to the output. That said, I wonder now how many other people have thought the same thing. In my opinion this is a type of deceptive marketing by DiNotte.

Regardless, the 400R ( at 240 lm ) should still look brighter but I suppose it's possible if the 400R has a wider dispersal pattern it indeed might not look as bright ( at distance ) as the Cygolite Hotshot 150. Since the HS 150 provides a narrow beam pattern it could very well look brighter at distance...not saying that's true only possible.

What mount do you use for either tail light on your helmet? I've tried using a cree flashlight front of the helmet, but the weight is quite bothersome. I'd want a much lighter headlight as well. The magic shine clones are an option, but then I'd have to stow the batter in a jersey pocket, and it's likely the sweat would destroy that thing in just a few rides.

I hope this is ok with 1nterceptor.

I find that if the light is centered at the top of the helmet; it has a good balance and the weight is not too bad.

I haven't been following this thread, but I'd really suggest including the $19 Blitzu Cyborg 168T. I have a lot of taillights, and once I got that, I made it one of my daily use lights, mounted on the back of my helmet.

The combination of a lot of light, a very wide dispersion pattern and a large lit area make it very conspicuous without being a painful point source of light.

I think it's definitely the taillight to recommend if someone wants a light for < $50.

My only concern is that I have not had it in heavy rain yet. It's seen some water and survived OK.
